Israel Contradicts Guardian Claim on Gaza Medicine "Restrictions"
(UK Media Watch-CAMERA) Adam Levick - Harriet Sherwood wrote in the Guardian on March 22, "An Israeli blockade [of Gaza], in place since 2007 although eased in recent years, has limited the import of medicines and other essential items." The IDF's COGAT unit responded, "As opposed to the arguments in the article, there hasn't been any restriction on importing medical equipment and medicine to the Gaza Strip, except for items considered as dual-use equipment....The State of Israel promotes, beyond the letter of the law, the import of medicine and medical equipment for dozens of medical institutions in the Gaza Strip."
